Jade Eagleson joins The Ty Bentli Show on Apple Music Country talk about the interesting dancing in his new video for “All Night To Figure It Out,” how he and Dean Brody got intro a contest to see who is more country, and why there’s a strong possibility he will be attacked by a duck during the interview. Listen to the full interview here.
Jade Eagleson Tells Apple Music about when he got signed:
“Funny enough, when I got signed my wife and I were still living in a trailer on the farm. I’d thought we were going to roll into this big thing of money and I was like, no, it’s not. But so I was working the farm while I was still signed and I’d wake up at 3:00 in the morning, do the chores, and go out on tour. Do what I did. It was great. I still love doing both. And then eventually music thing became so busy that I had to pick one or the other, and my dad and the rest of my family have it under control here. So yeah, I just did the music and it’s my passion, right? So it was an easy decision.”
Jade Eagleson Tells Apple Music about making music over the past year:
“Been good to write and connect with some extra people. Because you’re able to make more connections through this pandemic than normal because everyone has downtime, more downtime than usual. So it’s been definitely good on that front to reach out, make music, and be inspired in this crazy world we’re in right now. That album was so fun to record it. It’s funny because we recorded that one in Nashville and a week later the pandemic hit. So it was still like that feel good energy from being on the road and living life normally. So we’re sitting on a bunch of these songs and we’re mid-pandemic. We’re like, “What, do we release it or do we wait so we can go on a radio tour?” And all of us agreed that it was like, people want to hear all this feel good music because it’s just like, it’s such a down time right now. So we’re happy to get that out.”
Jade Eagleson Tells Apple Music about the music video for “All Night To Figure It Out”:
“We tried to shoot it at the start of the pandemic and we couldn’t, and we ended up doing it when things lifted up a bit, and they kept that secret from their significant others for, I’d say like six months. And then they all put in a good eight-hour day to learn this dance, and it was so funny…I watched them learning it and performing, and I still, I couldn’t do it. There’s no way. A few people have asked me like, “Would you do that for your wife?” I said “If I knew how to, absolutely.” But I still couldn’t pick it up.”

Jade Eagleson Tells Apple Music about performing live shows during the pandemic:
“We were blessed enough to play these drive-ins and stuff like that, and then Stampede, we were able to play it normally, and things are crazy over there again. But for every moment we get to go out and play a show again, it means twice as much as it did before just because I think everyone needed this to bring them back to the roots and remember where they came from. Because when you get your shows and your livelihood taken from you, you remember. You’re like, “Hey, we appreciate even the small things.” It’s been a long time of reflection and reaching out to other people that are maybe in the same boat, and connecting with them. And I became good friends with Dean over the pandemic, and he’s been to my farm, and we got this song sent to us, and we’re like, “This is the one. We got to do it.” And sure enough, what unfolded next is the product of just friendship. The song, it was written by Jen and Stu from The Reklaws, as well as Travis Wood and Gavin Slate, and they really nailed it on the head. From the opening line, it’s like, “I’ve been nonstop, riding blacktop.” It’s like, Yeah, man. This guy’s on a work grind. We’ve all been there before. Especially growing up on a farm, you’re like, “I just want this week to end, man.” And then you get this moment where you get to go out and enjoy a moment with your friend, and that’s when the chorus comes in. We’re going to hop in this boat. We’re going to do some fishing and dock up before the beers even got opened. But yeah, it’s just a fun song all around.”
Jade Eagleson Tells Apple Music about who’s more country between he and Dean Brody:
“It was a tie. It was a tie. We had a seventh challenge, but by the time we got to it, it was just too late in the day. We were going to actually race around horses and it was just like, it was way too hot. They didn’t want to cooperate. And I wouldn’t say that either one of us is a really skilled rider either. I’m pretty green. So I think Dean might’ve grown up on a ranch, so he might’ve had the upper hand, to be honest.”
